Since the news of a Friends reunion broke earlier this week, subsequent chatter about the event has slowly helped diffuse some of the insanity that followed the initial announcement.

David Schwimmer wants to further help adjust your expectations.
David Schwimmer（Ross扮演者）倒想和你聊聊具體的情況，免得大家期望太大或太小。

On Wednesday, NBC broke the news about the cast's anticipated participation in a special to honor legendary TV director James Burrows, who recently directed his milestone 1,000th episode of television. At the time, the network said it was not yet determined whether the entire cast would be in the same room for the event.
周三的時候，NBC宣布說《老友記》劇組要重聚，以此向傳奇導(dǎo)演James Burrows致敬。而James Burrows最近剛剛執(zhí)導(dǎo)完成他的第1000集電視劇，算是個里程碑。同時，NBC也說了，目前還不能確定到時候所有成員都能到場。

Matthew Perry ultimately became the first cast member to burst our bubble, saying he'd be in London rehearsing for a play.
Matthew Perry（Chandler扮演者）是第一個站出來表示“要缺席”，原因是他屆時要在倫敦排練一部舞臺劇。

"From what I've been told by Sean Hayes, he said we're all going to come up on stage and talk about Jim and give him a hug," Schwimmer added. "I just want to be in the room when he's honored because this man has contributed so, so greatly to this country's enjoyment of television in the last 40 to 50 years. So it's lovely there's an event that honors him and so many people that love him and so many people whose careers were helped [and] defined by him."
“Sean Hayes和我說，我們都打算到場并要給Jim（James Burrows）一個擁抱”，Schwimmer說道，“我的確想在他的致敬會上出現(xiàn)在現(xiàn)場，因為在過去的40到50年里，他對于這個國家的電視娛樂做出了非常大的貢獻(xiàn)。能有這么一個致敬會，并且還有這么多愛他的人，還有被他提攜幫助過的人到場，是一件多么美妙的事情?！?/div>

Schwimmer said he's "thrilled" that so many other casts — including those from Cheers and Will & Grace — will also be on hand. He also said he's "rooting" for Perry as he takes on his theater role.
Schwimmer表示很激動能看到其他劇組成員也能到場，比如：《歡樂酒店》，《威爾和格蕾絲》。他也支持Perry為他的舞臺劇努力。

The tribute to Burrows will air on NBC on Feb. 21.
